Mrs. Jenkins let out a faint sigh, drained of her confidence to confront Olivia Jenkins.
Now, this girl, whom she had always looked down upon, could grasp at her mistakes and mock her from the moral high ground.
Even so, she still refused to kowtow to Olivia.
Although she still disliked Olivia, she held the concerns of Jenkins Group above all else.
Her decision to not drive Olivia out of Jenkins Group was not out of approval for her, nor an agreement to let her inherit the estate. It was just a delaying tactic.
She still had to plan for her beloved grandchildren.
“I’m willing to drop the lawsuit! Olivia, you promise me that you won’t harm Hannah or George. They’re innocent.”
Olivia kept a straight face, but her heart ached.
No matter how hard she tried, no matter how well she did, her grandmother still held prejudices against her, still treated her as an outsider.
If someday her grandmother found out that the two grandchildren she had pampered and loved for twenty-two years were not her biological grandchildren, what would she feel then? Would she collapse?
Olivia sneered inwardly, those who are pathetic always have something hateful about them!
“I can refrain from hurting them, as long as they act properly and know their place. But if they harbour any ill intentions, I’m sorry, I won’t let it slide.”
“How dare you!” Lacking confidence, Mrs. Jenkins’ voice had diminished, as she angrily glared at Olivia.
Olivia’s face was cold, her deep voice icy.
“Grandmother, I respect my father’s last wish and respect you because of him. I hope you can discern right from wrong, and not make the same mistake again like with Seraphina. Unless, you want to see Jenkins Group taken over by others, or maliciously acquired, even bankrupt, if you prefer that result, I can accommodate you. ”
“You…” Infuriated and defeated, Mrs. Jenkins had no comeback.
Even if Mrs. Jenkins was dissatisfied with Olivia – despised or hated her – there was nothing she could do about it anymore.
Now, if she tried to support Hannah to take control of Jenkins Group, it was probable that the shareholders would not agree, and it would only backfire. So, for now, she had to endure and wait for the right opportunity.
Seraphina’s scandal had a significant impact, affecting both Hannah and George. Letting them come to the spotlight now would only invite ridicule and disgust. They must not be subjected to any further harm.
“I won’t sue anymore; give half of the shares of Jenkins Group to Hannah and
George. Henceforth, you all cooperatively manage Jenkins Group in peace.”
Olivia stared at her grandmother menacingly, declaring firmly, “No! We should continue the lawsuit then!”
Hannah had been silent the entire time, she was scared of Olivia revealing the DNA test report to their grandmother.
Suddenly, she spoke, urging, “Grandmother, I know you mean well for me and George. But we are not skilled in management nor business; you should respect father’s will instead.
Father entrusting his estate and control of Jenkins Group to Olivia, he must have intended it for our benefit. With the situation of our mother’s… George and I no longer have any reputation to desire father’s property. Please understand us, Grandmother.”
Mrs. Jenkins held her beloved Hannah close, “You’ve been forced into a difficult position. You’re too considerate, too sensible!”
Glancing at Olivia, Hannah spoke up cautiously, “Sis has been no less than deserving. She’s done a lot for the Jenkins Family, and she’s very capable. Grandmother, for the sake of Jenkins Group’s progress, can we please stop quarreling? It’s enough for me to have you loving me. All I want is for our family to be happily together.”
Given the reality that Olivia’s status in Jenkins Group can’t be compromised in the short run, and that Daniel Marshall is backing her, Mrs. Jenkins reluctantly agreed, “We’ll do as Hannah says.”
With an icy stare, Olivia fixed her eyes on the two acting so melodramatically, oozing disdain..
